There was plenty of Man Utd representation on day ten of World Cup action, with Amad leading the way.
A late goal by Deniz Undav condemned Ivory Coast to a 2-1 loss, in a reversal of fortunes from their own stoppage-time win against Ecuador last time out.
Ex-players of Man Utd, like Memphis, Tahith Chong, and Anthony Elanga, among others, were also in action.
Here’s how every player with a Man Utd playing history fared on day ten of World Cup action.

Who has been Manchester United’s best performer after one group game has been played?
Plenty of strong displays to choose from…

Amad – 7.5/10 (L vs Germany)
After an electric World Cup debut against Ecuador, marked with a late winner, Amad started the game against Germany.
He struggled with his decision-making at times and was wasteful in front of goal, but still looked lively and tried to create chances.
Despite the 2-1 loss, his team are well-placed to qualify for the next round, and Amad figures to be a key part of their campaign.

Anthony Elanga – 7/10 (L vs Netherlands)
Sweden were brought back down to earth after they battered Tunisia in their first game, as Netherlands made them look like amateurs in a 5-1 win.
The sole goal for Sweden came via Anthony Elanga, who scored just four minutes after coming on to save his country’s blushes somewhat.
He might start the next game now, but his team has just suffered a major setback.
Victor Lindelof – 3/10 (L vs Netherlands)
Any time you are a part of a defence that ships five goals, you are not going to be rated highly, and Victor Lindelof’s Sweden were thoroughly dismantled by the Netherlands.
He was his usual confident self on the ball, but was outmatched physically and was bamboozled by the movement of the Dutch attackers.
He finished the game as the lowest-rated outfielder on the pitch in a forgettable performance.
Memphis – 6/10 (W vs Sweden)
Memphis was on the positive side of the 5-1 win, and he came off the bench to assist one goal against Sweden.

Coincidentally, that assist was for the newest Man Utd transfer target, Crysencio Summerville, who kept up his hot streak at the World Cup.
It’s unlikely Memphis becomes a starter for the Dutch side, but he performed his job well against Sweden.
Hannibal – 5/10 (L vs Japan)
Hannibal’s Tunisia are set for an early exit from the World Cup after following up their loss vs Sweden with another heavy defeat against Japan.
The former Man Utd midfielder huffed and puffed to no avail as Japan completely outclassed Tunisia en route to a 4-0 win.
Hannibal still stood out as one of the better players for his country, and this experience should serve him well.
Tahith Chong – 7/10 (D vs Ecuador)
Curacao secured their first-ever World Cup point with a heroic draw against Ecuador, and Tahith Chong impressed again.
Chong was a bright spot in Curacao’s 7-1 loss vs Germany, and his quality shone through again vs Ecuador.
He was a dribble machine again and remained the creative spark for his team despite having to perform a rearguard action against the favourites.
Chong might earn himself a transfer on the back of an impressive World Cup showing.
